Talk:Enchylium conglomeratum

So why is it endangered/extinct?
I clicked on the article to find out how and why precisely the UK had managed to cause this lichen to go extinct, and in general what has caused its partial extinctions. After all, this is what the DYK hook was based on - there is a surprising fact (in this case, the local extinctions contrasted with the global wide distribution), and you expect to find elaboration and explanations, or at worst, even just the information that there is no known explanation, if there is none. Especially when there is an unfortunate fact, as extinctions of species (besides disease-causing microorganisms) are, it is natural to want to know what it is caused by so as to know how it can be prevented or reversed. Maybe I have missed it, but I skimmed through the article and found no explanation, nor even the claim that the explanation is unknown. This is close to clickbait IMO. 62.73.69.121 (talk) 19:02, 17 April 2024 (UTC)
